Need prop for new motor?
Replaced the cheap chinese motor in my son's Fledgling with a HobbyPeople HP2826/05 and was wondering about the prop size. They don't have any recommended prop sizes listed. I currently have a 10x5. Would that work or is something else better.

OK, this plane right?

A 10x6 on 3S will pull 18.5 amps, give you 35 oz of thrust, and prop speed of 46mph.
Double check the figures with a watt meter, as I used the E-flite motor for calcs.
But from the looks of it, it should fly the plane quite well. And you have room to play with props for more speed or thrust if you want.
